    Want to update you all on this little project, which has quickly turned into financial folly. So:

    - Sold the GTR via Litchfield. Given that I bought it for £43k and sold it for £47k (less Litchfield commission), it's not a bad bit of business. Don't miss it one bit, save for its practicality as a ridiculous piece of kit.

    - E92 now has:

    Alcon Superkit
    Evolve 100 cell cat exhaust with Tubi Rumore backbox
    Latest Nitron suspension which will be set up properly
    Apex 7 wheels with Cup 2s
    CAE shifter
    Recaro Pole Positions on sliders
    Front splitter on order

    Litchfield will map the car to take account of the new exhaust system, plus are replacing whatever bushes or other components need sorting out.

    The headline is that having started as what was supposed to be cost-efficient project to build a solid road-going M3 that will be competent at the Ring, I've now spent well over the value of the car in aftermarket goodies.

    No pictures as yet as I'm still waiting to pick the car up, but to say that I'm excited is an understatement.

    (Still really regret selling the CSL)

      Sounds awesome, I love the apex 7's, CAE is a piece of art.

        I know that the mantra is "no pics or it didn't happen". So I thought you may be interested to see a pic of my E92 now it's (almost) complete. Ideally, I would fit a half-cage and further uprate the engine, but this project has already sucked out a ton of money and those additions will have to wait til next year.

        Planning to take her to the next DN event, if anyone from here is going.

              I'm booked on DN16 and am assuming you're going to DN15.

                  Thanks. It's only a wrap and will no doubt have deteriorated heavily after a couple of track days.

                  Yes, doing DN15 and 16. Cannot wait.

                    If you're going to DN15 on 22 July, look out for my mate's red one - it's a bit of a Monster - is 1323kg wet with full GT4 aero :thumbs:.

                      Wow, that looks good, and serious too (GT4 splitter, full cage, etc). Contemplated red when I had mine wrapped. Your mate's car looks great and will look out for it (although I will ask him why, after spending all that money modding the car, he's having to have his passenger hold up the GoPro instead of buying a mount for it...).

                        He has loads of mounts, but that was giving a passenger ride to "Boosted Boris", who decided to do his own little video .

                            Car sadly now lives in Germany and doesn't come back to the UK very often. When it next does, I'll give you heads up .

                            On the last test day at Snetterton it was glued to a slick shod Ariel Atom (which also had the aero package). We were on just Cups as well :blalalala:. Sadly the GT4 aero slows it down on the straights and we couldn't overtake.

                                Yes - I did tell you we were going to be there :blalalala:. It was undergoing it's final testing (after spending the last 9 months being built to this level) before being shipped out to Germany :beer:.
